Installation for Win95/Win98/WinME
Non-Plug-and-Play Interfaces
The ISA2000 plug-in spectrometer and the EPP-ISA parallel port card from SIIG require
switches to be set for the port address and IRQ interrupt request selection, so you will first
need to find what is available in your computer using the Windows Device Manager.
Change the ISA interface switches to an available IRQ and port address by changing its
jumpers then install the card into your computer. Here are some helpful port addresses:
LPT1 378-37F hex IRQ7
LPT2 278-27F hex IRQ5 (default - can also be set to IRQ9, 10,11,12)
LPT3 268-26F hex IRQ9/ IRQ10/ IRQ11/ IRQ12
ISA2000 300-30F hex IRQ INTERRUPTS NOT USED (default all IRQ switches off)
(ISA2000 has switch settings for IRQ7, 9, 10,11,12,3,4,5)
See manual section on ISA2000 port address and interrupt selector switches.
For EPP2000, connect the IEEE1284 or ribbon cable, then plug-in the 5volt DC power.
If you intend to operate the EPP2000 from your desktop or notebook computer’s integrated
printer port, then goto step 2.
1. Install the SpectraWiz software for Win9x then start the SpectraWiz program. Using the
SpectraWiz Setup à Interface menu, configure the PORT address to be the same as found
using the Windows Device Manager settings. If you are using the PCMCIA card, you must
“uncheck” the box for LAVA PCI Card. Then press the button to update the registry and
restart SpectraWiz. The SpectraWiz Setup à Interface menu is normally displayed
automatically during the first installation. To access this menu later use the Setup à Interface
menu.
A real-time spectral graph should appear.
If not check the power and interface cable connections.
Also, try changing port address and IRQ.
2. To operate the EPP2000 from your desktop or notebook computer’s integrated printer port,
you must first configure the BIOS to enable the EPP mode on the printer port. Some
computers may not have this option, or may be faulty in operation. For these cases StellarNet
offers ISA bus, PCI bus, and PCMCIA card adapters that do work. These are low cost
IEEE1284 compatible high speed parallel port adapters.
Bring up the computers BIOS selection for integrated peripherals and select the parallel port
mode. Most computers provide BIOS selection only when the computer is first powered on by
pressing the “Del” key (or some other, possibly esoteric, combination of keys). Consult your
computer manufacturer to determine BIOS keystroke.
